Hi Mike! I woke up about 3:00 in the morning and couldn’t go back to sleep. I’m glad I viewed the riding shotgun. Thanks for the enjoyable ride! You are a dedicated professional and I appreciate how you and other truckers deliver to sustain our quality of life! In all types of weather just to get groceries to building supplies! Stay safe my prayers are with you!
I agree
try waking up at an earlier time by the clock and you will go to sleep earlier. Also try starting out the night on your back. You will actually start to feel you body going to sleep.
Where are you. It’s been a month 😢
@@culater238 I hope that he's okay!
@@suepeterson163 he’s okay! Just went out with him for some Mexican cuisine, after he helped me pack up my house. (His son by the way)
Hwy24 Minturn - Leadville has to be one of the most beautiful drives in all of Colorado. thanks for taking us along for the ride.
Good Morning and God bless you today, with safety and warmth. Love your channel. The most relaxing on the Internet. Of course I love road trips and that helps. Hope your eyes are good and your coffee is strong. Be well!!
I love your snow videos. Thank you for taking the time to make this video. Stay Safe and warm.
Now why is it I chose Mountain Man Mike to ride with and subsequently watch over the years, even when I am not a truck driver or for that matter any kind of driver, as I had my license taken off me for poor eye sight? It's easy as Mike has shown over the years an educational side to American trucking that I never imagined . So thanks Mike and keep safe doing what you do best. from Aberdeen in Scotland I'm out of here.😂
Hello Mike. I've been driving for a little over 9 years and I appreciate your videos for the scenery and education. I run Midwest regional. Keep the shiny side up
Hi Mike all I can say you are one bad ass semi drive in the snowy!! Mountains of Colorado. More power to you Thanks buddy 😮
Excellent, glad I brought you along, stay safe⭐️😎🤩🥶❄️❄️
Wow memories memories, trucking Battle Mountain at night on a snow packed road. Makes me Homesick, my daily school bus trip to Red Cliff from Minturn and also those nights when we attended our School, Prom, Wedding dances in Red Cliff and yes there were those times when we drove the snow packed road. Our beautiful Silver Bridge. The best years of my life❤️❤️❤️
Thank You Mike....
Appreciate the videos. ✌️
You are one badass truck driver. Thanks for the ride along.
We need our fix of mountain man Mike. Love the vids 🇬🇧
Really good ride along MMM thanks peace!!.!
Prayers, Mike. Hoping you stay safe out there.
Try hauling logs in mountains all year round. It what's separates the men from the boys!
Somehow, I found your channel. love this. So enjoy just listening to you talk about your adventures. A lot of the roads I know well, grew up in wyoming, and go back about every summer. Thank you so much for the rides, scenery, and knowledge.
Thanks for sharing. You have a wonderful day 👍
The bob ross of truck driving love you mike stay safe enjoying your new videos of your new gig
Greetings Mountain Man Mike from near the eastern terminus of US24, in Waterford, Michigan. 15 degrees F at 0700 Thursday morning.
Thank You!! Great Ride!! 🤗♥️🙏🏼
Well, that was certainly "entertaining!" Enjoyed this ride Mike!
thanks for sharing the ride with use miss seeing your videos. cant what for the next one thanks again.
Mike that is exactly what I do, if I am nervous or being overly cautious during certain weather conditions, I alway pull over for traffic to pass me. I also don’t like to feel like I am being pushed to go faster than I am comfortable with, by having someone behind me.
Enjoyed riding shotgun & listening to you talk. May peace be with you.
That was some very cool driving
Again I'm riding with you. I'm happy to be here watching the road with you and loving your chatter. Thanks.
Lovin' the ride. Great skills 👍. ✌️ 🕊️
Love the winter driving videos. The scenery, the skill, the commentary, just a joy to watch.
ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!
really love the night ones on the snowy road, thanks for the ride man!
You are brave and so relaxed. My husband is a truck driver, and I try not to be worried
Good evening!
Fun to ride w/your experience + expertise, muchas gracias
Loved it Mike thanks
It's so nice to sit in the passenger seat and drink coffee and eat cake. Thanks for uploading. Please stay healthy.
Hi Mr. Mike, Thanks for another good video. I have throughly enjoyed it. wish I knew how to drive in the snow. I'm from Texas, so you know everything closes down with the least little bit of snow or ice.
Time for a new video Mike! I’m needing to travel !
We hope you’re ok MMM 🙏
Thank You!! 🥰🤣❤👍👍👏👏👏
Great episode Mike...................................
Hope you're doing ok. Love your videos, only time I get to go for a ride! Lol. Looking forward to the next one. Prayers to you and yours.
Hi Mike my dad was a trucker for 40+ years and he was as fearless as you and didn't get into accidents either. There was one time we were heading to Tennessee at night during a Blizzard in Indiana and I was driving he was riding shotgun and the wind was blowing really hard north while we were southbound on I-65. Vehicles in the ditch everywhere on both sides of us I could barely see the road in front of the hood, all I could do was look out the window on the door and stay to the right of a hump in the snow because of the difference in the height of road and grass along the edge.. He turns to me and says better slow down before we end up in ditch, so I look down at my speedometer and we we're only doing 5 mph but with the snow blowing so hard it did seem like we were flying... LOL
😃
You’re a real Pro! Good , Great job! Remember the average idiot ( most drivers, cars & trucks are careless fools and don’t think or look ahead more than about 30ft & that’s accidents waiting to happen! Thanks for the ride!
MMM 🤠🇺🇲🚛 the King of snowy and windy Mountainroads!
Jjjeeehhhaa keep on Trucking!👍🇩🇪🤠Peace ✌
use to have 65 cj5 with a 350 buick. it had excellent all terrain tires on all four corners, with a dana powerlock rear differential and manual 4speed. I can say that driving it in 2wd on compacted snow was the squirrelest. 4wd high was awesome
Glad to find your channel. I’m in GJ. Don’t understand how/why Ca. Shut down I-70? I don’t know how you do it, rarely even leave town. Grew up in the flatlands and mountain drives are beautiful, from the passenger seat!
Every time I watch one of your videos...that song "Lookin at the World Thru a Windshield" gets stuck in my mind...lol thanks for the ride alongs...your Hwy 191 video by Rock Springs, Wyoming is one of the prettiest roads you've taken us on. Thank you. (grew up in Grand Co.)
Leadville is the home of the first ever May Co. Store.
May Company as in the department store chain that went out of business in California years ago?
Not much to see here folks, but MMM got us along just fine. TY. MMM God bless you
The information in your videos are very helpful. Thank you. What did you think about using Moringa Powder? (Granby video) I have trigeminal neuralgia issues in my left jaw and I’ll try anything some days to rid the pain. It’s like an abscessed tooth. Ugh.
Mike you couldn't have explained it better. Only patch of ice in 20 miles and didn't have the one ton truck in 4 wheel drive, fish trailed and instead of going south uphill, I ended up going north downhill after i bounced off an embankment and I wasn't driving fast either because the airbag didn't go off. Still enough damage to the truck and I have osteoarthritis, had 9 natural fuses in my back, now only have 6. My back is very sore and won't go away anytime soon. The truck is drivable and now it's in 4 wheel.
Missing your videos, Mike. I hope you’ve been safe in this insane weather.
Hey Mike, you are doing well. Haven't noticed any new videos on your channel. Hope to see something soon. I checked and I am still subscribed to your channel. May the Lord continue to bless you and the family.
Thanks mike
So for everyone how doesn't know, cause it's dark. On the right hand side of the road (Minturn to Tennessee Pass), is easily 500+ ft drop minimum, if you go off the road. (usually closer 1,000+). It can be scary AF during the day to drive.
Tennessee pass is what you’re climbing now then Hwy 91 down to Copper Mtn ! Good stuff Mikey!!
We love your channel. U ok? Pray u r well!
Like the adapting to routes, Mike. Commies, Screw 'em.
thanks for the ride Mike
Hmmm, I thought I-70 Vail Pasa was in Colorado... And that's still quite far from the California. And besides I-70 ends in Sulphurdale, UT. I must be missing something, unless he made a speech error....
your not the one missing something if you know what i mean .
Enjoyed the trip. You are first class. Have a safe rest of trip.😊😊😊
Good morning everyone hope you are having a good day. Stay safe and warm mike.my.husband is thinking about getting his cdl .I sent him some of your.videos to watch.
Love your Channel Specially in deep snow
Riding at night with the snow looks like your flying😳I’m holing on tight😂Glad your a great driver . Safe travels!
Hello Mike, be safe. Can't handle so much snow myself, you're used to it, that makes a difference. Your work most important, I Do know that. Always be cautious.
Loved it!!!!
Good afternoon Mike! Where are you. I have missing your wonderful videos! I so hope you are just taking a break and not sick. Please let us know where you are and how you are doing 😊
BEST trucking vids on Yt…bar NONE!
Wadgya do, blow an engine? ...i'm still holding your beer.
Buen Camino
I've hauled a lot of equipment over those roads and go at night to avoid traffic, but not in the snow. You are one good driver!
Awesome ride Mike. Ty
I like your video's. No bullshit winter driving!😁
I have been a subscriber for a while but this is the first time to comment. I enjoy your videos for the eedtern states that I will be never able to see due to disabilities. I would like to see this route without snow just to see the beauty of it. I do have a question. Does Colorado allow studded tires in winter? I remember when Ohio outlawed them when I was a kid. We do not need them here in esst tennessee.
Thanks, I could not remember.
I really wish more people would understand how to “engine brake” in modern cars instead of riding their brakes down a pass..
And I wish all truckers were as skilled as this gentleman behind the wheel!
Just today I saw a semi with brakes on fire just past I-70 Eastbound past Denver west with brakes on fire after coming down the hill.. 🤦♂️
Hey Mike, you said goodbye like 4 times, each time I started to cry cause you were leaving, but you never left and so now I'm in the middle of my biggest psycho drama, my safe space has melted away and I'm floating in OBLIVIAN, OBLIvian, oblIvian............🤣🤣🤣
Hi Mike Safe travels
Hey Mike, it's been a month since you posted this . . . haven't seen ya come back on?!? Just missing you & hope all is gd.
haven't seen any videos recently hope things are okay
Wondering the same
Not ideal conditions, slow- but your making it happen 👍👍
👍👍👍
Hey I love watching your videos but I would love to see some of the outside of your rig and when chaining up it would be great to see you perform those duties as well as when your loading and unloading
Awesome as always
What do you think about automatic chain system for semi's ? I've seen a very few auto chain's on very nice owner operator semi's running the heavy snow state's . Yes drivers that are afraid should wait until they have road conditions they can handle period . Top quality driving thank you for posting this great video on your channel
You must be very innovative to travel in that neck of the woods.
Hey there. I have a question I hope can be answered in the next day or so. I’m driving a 26’ box truck from Salt Lake City to Denver on Saturday. Would you recommend I-80 or I-70 weather conditions wise. Thank you sir
i don't think, that you know what communists are or how to handle people you disagree with, but you are a great truck driver and an awesome content creator :-)
Well, a good truck driver anyways. A great driver understands regulations and what they are aimed at. More often than not, a regulation is the outcome 'great' truck drivers knowing what's best or just what they want to do and then not getting home and taking others with them. He should check that whining noise coming out of his cab as soon as he can.
@@andrewkunz6029 i agree with everything you said.
Thanks for that. I enjoy this cat's videos as he gives some technical commentary, which goes a long way in helping to appreciate how demanding this job is. Its a tough and unfairly paid occupation. I'm not sure if its any different here in Canada, but I doubt it. These guys and airline pilots deserve more money and rest. Anyway, a nice break from cat videos.
About 22 y ago I was going up Vail Pass while it was snow-packed. I was glad there was a tanker semi in front of me. I didn't want to slow anybody down so I would just stay behind him. Basically he ran off and left me in a cloud of snow. So i pulled into a wide spot and let everybody pass. With your videos I understand better why he gunned it.
Nice video. What do you use to record? Dashcam or reg camera?
Hey everyone, what a cool night time ride. Compare this with "Trucking Minturn CO to Leadville filmed June 2020" Noice noice. Fun riding with someone who knows the road and how to drive it.
Enjoyed the ride Mike 😎 stay safe 🙏
I wish you would also upload to rumble. Yt seems to be making your videos harder to find. Starting to get annoyed with screwtube. Love your vids.
.
Whenever I watch videos of American RUclipsrs I don't have to see ads even though I am not premium RUclips user😎
Great to see snow driving
I gotta ask how many sets of wiper blades do you burn through a year? I don't think I've seen a video of yours where the wipers weren't on at some point throughout the video. 😂😂 Jeeps have 2WD, 4LOW & 4HIGH. Only 4WD's I'll ever buy.
Looks like good traction on the hills, did that back when I was 18 newly licensed, imagine different story with a bit of rain, hail.
Also, the CSP Chargers and Durangos are V-8 AWD
Miss your videos. Hope everything is okay. There have been a lot of storms out west this winter.
👏👊💪✌️😉
Nicely done their mike. Say it again. Not are driving that causes the problems, it's the 4 wheelers and the animals that do the shit. Good Luck, Have Fun!!
The last time I went through Eisenhower I did the same thing. I was 13-6 but i triggered the overheight warning.
Are so brave!!
God bless you....
roll on....
:)
Hey Mike, haven't heard from ya. Hope all is well.
